Gaza under attack! As the already dire humanitarian situation gets worse, it is the innocent civilians that will suffer the most. Salam Charity is on the ground providing life saving medicine & medical supplies to hospitals across Gaza & West Bank

Story

I’m running the Borneo Marathon 2024 to support those displaced and struggling through unimaginable conditions in Gaza.

The situation is worsening as civilians continue to face the horror of major airstrikes. Almost two million have been displaced during the latest attacks.

65% of hospitals are still out of operation and the remaining facilities are desperately struggling.

Without electricity, it’s near impossible to even make contact with those most in need.

And that’s partly why I’m going to run through the jungle; in solidarity and to raise funds for our brothers and sisters.

For background, I don’t run. This will be every bit as awful for me as you would expect.

Salam Charity was founded in 2011 with the aim to help fight poverty and transform lives. Every night over 800 million people go hungry and nearly 6 million children die each year from preventable diseases. Salam Charity aims to tackle this by providing lifesaving meals, clean water, sanitation, clothing and education. This will allow everyone to realise their birthright of living a happy life by developing their full potential. Salam Charity works in many countries around the world with a particular emphasis on the Rohingya emergency crisis. Salam Charity has a five year strategic plan which will focus on bringing a positive and lasting change in the lives of those affected by poverty. Our aim is to empower people for them to be in charge of their own destinies. We endeavour to support households, local communities and national institutions to develop longer term collective approaches to reinforce their capacities to better respond to, mitigate and prevent humanitarian emergencies and hunger crises. Supported by global celebrities, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and social media influencers, We have one important mission: to save and change lives for the better. We will do what it takes to bring humanity closer to a world free from hunger and poverty.
